Well... I was thinking about the mentioning of generating a 'ball
lightning' effect through one of those vortex guns. I remember a file on
one of the keelynet mirrors about the so-called 'wind cannon' that was
developed by the luftwaffe during WWII... I thought it might be
interesting to at least duplicate the effect on a small scale -- but when
it comes to the physics of vorticies (or is that vortexes?), I'm at a
loss. Just what is it about a cavity-size or a waveguide that produces the
vortex effect? If someone could just explain to me THAT, then I'd be happy
to chunk some change for the sake of science. :)
